Our 1959 Porthole window Roma for sale.

Gees, davep...porthole windows are worth 1500 bucks each!!
Man, you're giving this van away! ;D

I don't think it will last very long at that price. Good luck with the sale.

cheers,
Al.

More photos! First one shows you the length compared to our Caddy. It is 12' long, 8' high from the ground (at least 6' inside) 6'10" wide. I don't know the weight.

Rare porthole windows work perfectly!

Rot at front left. The wood sides appear to have been made in several pieces from factory rather than one large piece. This should make repair much easier.

Front of wheel arch area on left side. Spat needs to be remade this side but the old one is there and a good pattern. Other side is okay.

Inside of door. It was jammed shut and swelled and we had to break it to get it open. It is only thin and very easily replaced. Wire door inside is okay.

Inside on right front showing sink and porthole with original overhead cupboards.

Right side front showing area that needs repair/replace. A small amount of framework here needs replacing.

Looking forward to front windows and cupboards.

Right rear area. This seat converts down to a double beds and annex is stored under it.

Rear view, you can see rear window is now out but can go straight back in with new rubber as it was perished but no damage around this area. It has been kept covered since this window was removed. Note original period vinyl.

Original gas cooker has a top that slides away and a fold down drawer. Works perfect. Note also the beautiful original star laminex!

Cooker hidden away and showing 3 way fridge which was working but needs a thorough clean up. That is a power board wire hanging down. Gas and power all worked perfect!

Side wardrobe showing non period mirror, about the only part not correct apart from fridge, clock and those awful curtains!

Left front area showing porthole seats that convert to another bed.

Roof area near lift up roof vent. Note original lights! Wood here showing some minor water damage.

Outside front right showing section of wood needing replacement.

Again right side showing outside section forward of porthole needing replacement.

Right rear of van. We added the patches to keep it solid when we towed it home from a friend who was going to help repair it but he was selling his factory so it had to be moved back home.

Right hand side lower rear, all the middle sections of wood are pretty solid, it is mostly the outer edges that need work and new pieces need routing in. The right side is worse than the left. As you can see the wood was done in several pieces then filled and painted to look like one solid side. It should be easy enough to replace the worst of the outer sections, a small amount of filler and new paint.

We towed this van home from our friend's factory a few months ago. It still tows just fine but obviously wheel bearings etc. should be checked/greased if towed any distance. We have done numerous NSW trips in it but as previously stated had not used it in over 6 years.

Hi can someone help me i would like to know more about this van thanks geff
